​​DSO National Laboratories (DSO) and Temasek Laboratories @ Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have been researching into Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) technologies for more than 10 years, specifically in materials characterisation, process development, design and testing.

Today, the collaboration has yielded a national capability to design and develop advanced MMIC technologies in Gallium Arsenide using Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor or pHEMT, paving the way to research into newer technologies such as Gallium Nitride. Such a capability enables the development of sophisticated electronic systems for a wide range of applications such as sensors and communications.

In recognition of the team's innovation in creating technological breakthroughs for Singapore's MMIC capability development, the Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Research & Development Team is awarded the DTP2007 (R&D) Team Award.
